The appraisal documents are used to either prepare for, or act as a basis for discussion at appraisal. Your appraiser can advise you on the completion of these and the most suitable supplementary information to be attached. In all cases you should ensure that you forward all completed documents to your appraiser at least two weeks before your the date of your appraisal.

All forms must be typed – handwritten forms will not be accepted.

Quality Indicators
The Quality Indicators Table has been produced to aid doctors, appraisers and Responsible Officers in the collection of information under the GMC’s supporting information framework.Revalidation is intended to be a five year process and it is unlikely that every section of supporting information will be complete for every appraisal.This table is guidance only and may be used if there are areas of doubt over information being suitable to support a positive revalidation recommendation.Each of the six types of supporting information has been further broken down – this reflects the descriptions of the supporting evidence on the GMC website.The supporting information provided will be examined and three criteria will need to be met:-- Is it enough?
- Is it timely (within the five year cycle)?
- Is it of sufficient quality to demonstrate the activity?
In order to ensure that the appraisal process remains developmental and supportive, decisions made about the supporting material should be by agreement between the appraiser and the doctor. This agreement should take the form of three outcomes:-
- Management of Appraiser Slots
- Leicester Statement – Evidence for Medical Appraisal (Produced by the National Association of Primary Care Educators and the Clinical Governance Support Team. There are some elements of it which may assist you in preparing for your appraisal).[/expand]
